moving on

[Ahoy]

A family member just shared with me the advice given by my great-grandmother to my grandmother when her cheating husband walked out on her:
1. Keep a good thought (meaning, I assume, don't allow your mind to fixate on negative thought cycles)
2. Take the reins of your own life

I was so glad to have this advice today. I am particularly working on the "good thought" part. I feel like I'm already taking the reins of my life by pushing forward with my independence and upcoming move. Some would call that giving up, I suppose, but I call that moving forward.
